Re: Omar Kelly OTA observations 6/9

I'm intrigued by the talk about the Tight End sets & formations. Gator Hoskins getting the ball with Clay & Sims there could be a B.A. play

I'm also glad to hear that Cortland is winning Omar over. Not that his opinion matters as much as I'm glad to see hes taking the right steps. & I hope it translates to the field cause he & Grimes could be amazing

Re: Omar Kelly OTA observations 6/9

Omar's tweets have the ring of week 3 TC, it's just OTAs so you will see a lot of stuff and forms with different people, many of whom won't be on the roster so hard to say what the O is going to look like and also very difficult to ascertain who may be ready to start.

I'm very optimistic about the potential of the offense but a little worried about Tanne being able to handle all the change, but motion is the way to go, especially nowadays and with the players we have, it's a long wait til there in pads...

Re: Omar Kelly OTA observations 6/9

True, but there are some indicators that you can take away from these that are worth noting. The tempo of the offense for one, and the amount of movement. Individual performances don't mean as much as the style of offense and Lazor's demeanor and attention to detail. So far, so good.

Omar Kelly @OmarKelly · 37mDaniel Thomas appears to be getting second team reps. Dolphins fans might not want to stick a fork in him just yet.

DT is probably Miami's second best back on the team and is more favorable in the Red Zone. When his game is on he really isn't bad. The problem with DT is that Ireland moved up in the second round to get him. Most analysts were praising the move at the time. I was suckered into drafting him high in our dynasty league that year.

I just can't see Thigpen being on our roster this year. He was very disappointing last year. I am mindful that the kickoff protection wasn't stellar, but when he had the opportunity he didn't have that explosiveness that he had the first year. I don't see Damian Williams beating him out though, and Lamar Miller is more important as our starting running back. I'm not sure what the thought-process here on STs.

Omar Kelly @OmarKelly · 44mBrandon Gibson is doing wind sprints. No practice again for Gibson, who is 7 months into ACL rehab.

Omar is just letting us all know that Gibson isn't ready for anything but windsprints and is behind the others in the new offense. I appreciate his observations here.

Kelly's most interesting comment was that this was the most improved he has seen the offense from the previous year's OTAs. Not saying it is the best offense they have had or will have, but the improvement from this time last year is significant.

But lets keep perspective. We are comparing pad-less practices from 2013 to 2014. I'll feel better when I see the offense and defense look good in game 3 of the preseason.

I suspect that Lazor knows his talent and can figure out how to make them productive. There will be no excuses this year if there is a lack of execution.

Exactly Dave, I don't know where those comments came from against Omar. He told the truth, which is Gibson is rehabbing from a torn ACL. How does that get misread?

Maybe it is about a torn patella tendon instead of an ACL tear?

I am not a medical professional nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn last night so I don't know if they are pretty much the same thing or not. They are both ligaments in the knee so ... probably depends on who you talk too I guess.

For myself I have no problem with his saying ACL. I knew Omar was talking about his knee problem and could not remember the actual problem until I looked it up. He was tweeting and not writing an article for the printed page so no biggie to me.

Since he is a beat writer for the Phins maybe some expect more. Haters gonna hate. ; )
